Hi!
The information about man pages from other packages on Debian-based
systems on [0] could see some updates:
* Instead of using the available db (dpkg -p), recommend using the
status db (the installed packages) with something like this instead:
$ dpkg-query -f '${Maintainer}\n' -W mount
* The upstream maintainer is usually found in the copyright file:
/usr/share/doc/<pkgname>/copyright
although some times only the copyright holders are found there,
otherwise the second best candidate might be the upstream
changelog, found at:
/usr/share/doc/<pkgname>/changelog.gz
regards,
guillem
